Subtypes are regional variations within the Stardragon races, featuring unique features and traits. Subtypes are all COMMON, meaning you can switch your stardragon's subtype to fit their home and lineage (within your rarity tier and number of >uncommon traits. Traits that are uncommon are uncommon across the board, no traits are more or less common if they match the subtype). Subtype traits are not locked to their types, meaning you can have a desert dasher with kelpie dasher feet if you so choose! These cases can be chosen either for aesthetics, or to show intermingling lineage. HOWEVER, the no hybridization between races rule still applies. You cannot apply Dasher traits to Sweepers, etc. You cannot give mossy fins to a Shooter born to a Kelpie Dasher and a Shooter. You can however show interspecies lineage genealogy for fluff levels and fur length, since these are not traits and have no rarity. Fluff it up.
Hopefully that is all clear, if you have any questions please ask down below!
DISCLAIMER: While we have created several subtypes with very lore-heavy concepts, no one is under any obligation to follow Jo’Arca lore for their subspecies. If a person simply wishes to apply the look to a stardragon for no other reason than “it looks cool” that is perfectly fine! The lore is mainly there for people who like having an extra bit of concept flavor or want to make characters that go with the Jo’Arca lore.

STARSWEEPER SUBTYPE - TROPICAL SWEEPERS
“It was a lot. A lot of everything. Just a swarm of people, the most Sweepers I've ever seen in one place! I couldn't keep up with the party every night, but the colors were amazing. If you can handle the crowds I definitely suggest going for at least the crazy performances, and I haven't even started talking about the food! Those birds know how to party I gotta say.”
While their cousins in the north have faced brutal hardship for the past several generations, the tropical sweepers of the capitol islands of Kabuki have thrived as a cultural pariah of fashion, dance, art, and music. This dichotomy in the flock has caused some animosity between the two sweeper leaders that represent each tribe on the international council of Ivoryhelm, but squabbles aside, family reunions between north and south still play a big part in Sweeper culture. The patriotism of the Sweeper nation is exemplified no better than the extravagance of the bi-yearly southern migration to the Kabuki islands and the world-renowned Raziel's Cup.
But focusing on the islands and the Tropical Sweepers themselves... The land that these Sweepers live in is bountiful, as such many have taken to simply living amongst the bounty than trying to forge large structures. Elaborate treehouses and cliffside dwellings are quite popular. It is not uncommon for tropical sweepers near the rocky coastline to have underwater entrances and large caves (old volcanic caverns or mined out thanks to Crafters) in which they make their homes, leaving trade among Crafters and Sweepers a familiar sight. The alliances between Kabuki Sweepers, Dragonsback Crafters, and Dragonskeep Fishers allow these Stardragons to live and go about business without the fear of Shooter raids.
Deeper into the jungles far past the easy raids of shooters, larger cities exist with grand temples and stone structures, flourished often with festivals and feasts, where dancing and strutting ones stuff is a frequent occurrence. Singing and dance-offs are considered legitimate forms of competition, argument settling, and courtship. These birds of paradise value romance and showmanship, making them excellent performers, but may be considered gaudy and pushy by other species. Festival plummage takes over the top to a new level as Tropic Sweepers adorn themselves with sparkling jewels, plentiful golden jewelry, feathers, flowers, fans, shakers, grass skirts and other fanciful costumes. Parades of birds celebrate with drink and dance deep into the night.
Given the Sweeper's proximity to the ocean, fish and shellfish are staple in the Tropical Sweeper diet and exports alike. Tropical Sweepers have been known to be able to hold their breaths for extended periods of time to hunt for fish and other aquatic delicacies, along with oyster collecting for the pearls they keep within. Both the colorful shells and pearls catch them a pretty penny. Always flashy and over the top, traditional free diving for fishing and collecting from the ocean often involves a head start from a very high cliff.
The flowers both the male and female Sweepers decorate their hair with to exchange with loved ones are often as flamboyant and bright as their plumage… and Tropical Sweepers also abide by the bigger displays the better.
Both the Male and Female Sweepers shown here exhibit entirely common traits.
